Information we collect
- Comments: when you leave a comment on a post, we collect the data shown in the comment form, plus your IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
- Contact form: if you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and message so we can respond to you. This information is sent to us by email and is not stored in a public database.
- Cookies: if you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience. Standard WordPress cookies are also used to support core site functionality.
- Embedded content: posts on this site may include embedded content (for example, videos or images) from other websites, which behaves as if you visited that other website directly, including tracking your interaction if you have an account there.
- Analytics and advertising: we use tools such as Google Analytics and Google AdSense to understand how the site is used and to show ads. These services use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites, in order to provide advertising based on your browsing history. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.

How we use your information
We use the information we collect to respond to enquiries, moderate comments, understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it, and to display relevant advertising through Google AdSense. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
Data retention
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognise and approve follow-up comments automatically. For visitors who register (if applicable), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile, which they can view, edit, or delete at any time.
Your rights
If you are located in the UK or EU, you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, request correction or deletion of it, object to or restrict our processing of it, and request a copy of it in a portable format. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.
